“We support and protect, through our presence, our Palestinian colleagues who demonstrate unmatched courage in sending us images and testimonies of the immense tragedy unfolding in Gaza.”

Media professionals from at least 36 publications, including Agence France-Presse (AFP), Radio France, Mediapart, Arte and BFM TV, participated in the die-in, alongside some freelance journalists.

Journalist organisations, including the European Federation of Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists, supported the protest.
